This is one of my early attempts. Dutch braids are harder for me to do when my hair is really thick. I think it will come out better after I straighten my hair and then braid it.

What do you do when you have hair this long?

I need extra catch up photos so let me tell you braids really hurt! I was scratching and itching all day for just these three haha Anyhow I enjoyed the eperience and thought the focus and angle of this shot shows the real texture and look of my hair close up! So this is what you would see looking at me closely! ;) Although I'm still craving that macro lens......hmmmmm one day!

I took the big 70-200mm lens with me to Bali and couldn't resist the opportunity to take many many photos from our 6 day getaway with friends. We just needed to relax from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. I really needed a bit of a break and now struggling with choosing photos for this project as most are too personal or not staged enough for 365. Nevertherless I love so many I really just have the urge to put all my travel photos up on flickr but for now they will stay on FB hehehehe

and button earrings that i made!

[braids inspired by the film "ever after" and a hairstyle i saw in an email advertisement from anthropologie. xo.]

Our braided kitchen rugs were made by an elderly woman in Pennsylvania. We found her when we visited a craft fair and fell in love with these colorful rugs. They are both close to a decade old and we wash them often but they are still going strong.

I got my hairdresser to put a pretty little braid in my hair ;-) It just adds the final touch to the style I think

Anyone out there know the secret to tucking in the end braid? I've tried with hairpins and bobby pins and it never stays in place.

Still taking me some time to learn the fishtail braid the french way so here is another plain one...

too cute, how have i never done this before!

Thin cornrows hair style, which are tiny braids that are made all over the head and decorated with beads, a very popular style among kids in southeast asia beaches. Although this style can be time-consuming, it is meant to last. A very intricate braiding styles use seven or nine strands. Ha! I couldn’t resist and I made this spyshot.

Studying this kind of image makes me fall into a deep sleep.

My hair braiding skills: excellent if I must say.

2006.11.18 Today I styled in a rolled braid. This is pretty easy to do, as long as you can keep the first side rolled whilst rolling the other! I have to hold the first side in my teeth for that, but it comes out nicely anyway. (you could clip it to the side of your head for a moment, but my hair's too heavy .. or I don't know how to clip!)

Or French Braided Bun with Stick, or some other discriptive title like that. Still excited that I finally figured out how to french braid my own hair. I probably originally got this from this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnEBuIk9GuI

This was taking during one of my trips over in Barcelona Spain. I never got around to posting it until now. Their something about this image I just love open-air hair braiding.

Nice closeup of the amazing braid my husband did on me. Now I just wish he could learn to french braid...

My braid is never the same twice. Every time I dye it, its a new combination...

Purple, blue and some leftover pink manic panic and some plain old black dye too.

Watched this storm form west of St Albert this evening. Fascinating to watch the mammatus form and then seemed to disappear into this long, tearing braid.
